Running GlobalEventListener and PhoneListener

ingvar_e — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:10:55 GMT

I have tried numerous approaches to combine GlobalEventListener and PhoneListener but none works. I need to be able to tell the PhoneListener to do things including shutting down. And it has to be done from an application I am developing. The only way suggested for instant communication between apps are GlobalEvents. The closest I got is a testmodule that crashes at start or if I change it a bit only functions as a phone listener. So there seems to be conflict here. The best structural approach seems to be to only use the GlobalEventListener since it can catch all events. Problem with this is that there seems to be no documentation on the phone events. At least I have not found any. Anyone succeeded with this?

Signer ID value in Blackberry Signing Authority - Create Key Pair"

steveatmarz — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:38:59 GMT

I received my three keys and have registered them all successfully. I went to sign an app but was told I needed to run the private key administration app. I have been presented with a window with the red-yellow-green stoplight and the light is green. For signing name I was going to put my company name.

What do I put for Signer ID ? The docs say to sue the id RIM assigned you. In the three emails I have a Client number that is 10 digits long. Is that it ?

Is MainScreen compulsory in BlackBerry applications?

vhalitsyn — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:45:22 GMT

Currently I've got 2 screens utilizing almost the same functionality and I'd rather extract common logic into some base class but the extend different RIM UI clases: MainScreen and FullScreen. Due to there's no multiple inheritance in java I cant figure out how to do this unless they both extend FullScreen. So the question stated in title arises. I've tested with 4.2 simulator and it works ok without the MainScreen, but I'm not sure for all the OS's out there. Does anyone know?

Calling sharepoint web service

boomerhawk — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:31:44 GMT

Has anyone here had any luck calling a SOAP sharepoint web service? I have the WSDL and tried to generate the stubs via wscompile, but it keeps erroring out saying "invalid element "{http_://_schemas_.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/}definitions"

Any thoughts? Or suggestions on how to call a sharepoint web service?

Thanks!

HttpConnection throwing exception

deepakjain — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:27:48 GMT

Hi,

I am using a BB Curve 8700(trackwheel) device.I have been developing applications for blackberry and am new to this. I have developed an application which connects to the server on internet and gets some response.

Some Facts :
1. I have a Vodafone connection(India) and all services are activated.
2. I am able to browse the internet from the device browser.
3. The application is signed.
4. The Http is handled in a seperate thread.
5. Device OS version is 4.2.1.114

Here is the code...

public void run() {
HttpConnection cnx;
InputStream is;
try
{
System.out.println(mainURL); //This is getting printed
cnx = ( HttpConnection )Connector.open( mainURL ); //Exception here

//This sysout is not reached at all
System.out.println("cnx="+cnx+ " " +cnx.getResponseCode());

if(cnx.getResponseCode()==HttpConnection.HTTP_OK)
{
//Do some processing here
}
cnx.close();

} //end of Try

catch(Exception e)
{
returnResp=false;
System.out.println("Exception = "+e); //Displays java.lang.NPE
}

The Connector.Open() is throwing an exception and a Null Pointer Exception is caught.Verified that 'mainURL' is not NULL. Dont know why NPE is thrown !!!

This same piece of code works perfectly fine on my other BlackBerry Bold device(9000) with the same SIM card. All basic settings are similar in both the devices.

Please suggest me a solution to make this work.Thanks in advance.

How do I position a field on the screen exactly where I want?

rohit.roy — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:16:11 GMT

Is there a way I can set the exact coordinates for the field on the screen?

Need help!!! Adding Timer to my Custom Field.

rohit.roy — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:02:58 GMT

I have created a custom field class "Seek" to draw a fillrectangle.

class Seek extends Field{

int fill;

protected void layout(int width, int height) {

setExtent(320,5);
}

protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
graphics.setColor(Color.RED);
graphics.fillRect(0, 0, fill, 5);

}
protected void setValue(int value){
fill=value;
}

}

And I have created another class Test seek to set the fill value using a timer

public class TestSeek extends UiApplication{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
TestSeek gbResults = new TestSeek();
gbResults.enterEventDispatcher();

}

private TestSeek()
{
pushScreen(new ProgressScreen());
}

}

class ProgressScreen extends MainScreen{

Timer timer= new Timer();

int i=80;

Seek SeekField=new Seek();

public ProgressScreen()
{

add(SeekField);

timer.schedule(new RemindTask(),100,10);
// SeekField.setValue(i);
}
class RemindTask extends TimerTask
{
public void run()
{

if(i < 320)
{
i += 1;
SeekField.setValue(i);
}
else

timer.cancel();
}

}

But I am unable to animate filling the rectangle.

AlertListener Behavior

aattia — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:12:24 GMT

I developing an application that uses the AlertListener APi for version 5.0.

I am looking for a way to receive a notification on all alerts on the device, does AlertListener provides this functionality?

In other words, does AlertListener works to listen for all alerts globally on the blackberry device? Or just the alerts generated by your own app?

Regards

How secure are App World Apps?

trshivku — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:00:52 GMT

We are in the process of submitting a few paid apps on the App World and would like to know if it is possible for someone to buy an app and then share it with others ? Is piracy possible/prevalent on the BB ?

Had a bad experience with iPhone OS where there are tools available to remove the Apple DRM and share it. We had assumed that Apple would be able to prevent piracy. Want to ensure that the same is not possible on the BB.

Thanks in advance.
